Excuse me a denomination is Catholic, presbyterian, Baptist, etc.
People who believe is Jesus is Christian but not all have the same doctrine therefore they are different denominations.
Just because the LDS doctrine is different they still believe in Jesus Christ so no matter how much any here try to say the LDS are not they are just by the defenition!

Although, I have heard LDS say Jesus and His followers were “Mormons” even if they did not call it that.
I once got in trouble (just a talking to) in Relief Society for reminding the RS pres that Jesus was a PRACTICING Jew. Go figure.
***
There is more to that story and Jesus followers were never Mormon such urban legend crap!
Mormon at times is a nick name also a slang by fomenters
Saint are followers of Jesus
It was not an urban legend in my Relief Society, resty. I was appalled when I heard it.
There are MANY things that the LDS rank and file say/believe that the hierarchy SAYS is not “official” doctrine. I call it “lay theology”.
Of course, sometimes getting the LDS to admit what is and is not “official doctrine” is like nailing jello to the wall.
DECEIVED is a characteristic by which the Christian world can identify a MORMON.
Just because the FLDS doctrine is different they still believe in D&C 132 so no matter how much any Living Prophet® who lives high atop SLC, tries to say the FLDS are not MORMON, they are - just by the defenition!
